UPDATE: Total Fire Bans All Across Cottage Country

That means all open-air fires are banned including those for cooking and warmth. Lighting fireworks and flying lanterns are also banned.

The municipalities that now have total fire bans include:

Municipality of Hastings Highlands

Bancroft

Faraday Township

Wollaston Township

Tudor/Cashel Township

Carlow/Mayo Township

Limerick Township

North Kawartha

If you are found violating the fire ban you could face charges and fines. If you start a fire while ignoring the ban you may have to pay the expense of having the fire department respond and any costs for the fire to be put out.
